Well, good morning, good people, if that is even a possibility for you all, friends!

We continue to be on an Executive Order roll, such as Federal agencies shall provide English only materials, but have discretion to use whatever language makes their work more goals achievable.

This reminds me of the attempt to bring Honduran kids into schools, where none ever existed, but none of the kids understood a word the teachers were saying. The Guatemalan guide said at the least, education would help tamp down incest, although infrastructure and jobs would greatly help large families associate with each other, and brothers and sisters, moms and sons would have choice.

We have some Honduran-like communities in the US, amirite?

The red headed Israeli children that didn't make it back to Israel, just bodies, are being used as propaganda by Israel, as Caitlin wrote about in the article posted in joe's ebs last night. Well, I am a red head. My reaction is not what Israel desired. I look at it as that time when their bombs killed me as a child, putting myself in the shoes of Ariel Bibas. I leave it you to figure out my reaction to the Israeli policies, a/k/a genocide and The Hannibal Directive.

Maybe there are other read heads that can be considered outside that ghastly war:

Maybe equally pissed off as the Israelis?

How about a red head who made it all the way to heaven on earth?

This suggest we red headed women are...?

More flattering:

And, there is the Gipsy Kings concert last weekend. Dear One went along with this because they have been my heart since 2000. Heavy traffic going and coming through Houston. Nice hotel. No time to eat a decent meal, settled for fast food burgers, GPS heading us the wrong way, and on and on. Strict rules about women's purses upon entry of the Centre. Colored must be small, so I went clear travel bag which could be large. Mine was maybe 5 in. by 6 in.
Tussled with the cops getting in, suggested they read their restrictions. MY BAG WAS CLEAR. Once inside Smart Financial Center, cops everywhere. Got seated in our excellent seats. Hoping for good videos and a close look and listen in this top tier auditorium. WRONG!!! Lots of folks who thought standing up, dancing in front of their seats, was the cool thing. They were not obnoxious during the opening act, Adelade. She was. Beautiful woman, beautiful and unique voice. She did 5 songs. I think, since they all sounded alike. I stepped out to get a beer at song 4. $15.23 for a beer, like I was a prisoner in some airport. And then, here comes the superstars to the stage, and the 5 youngish (tipsy) women in front of us lit up. Standing, dancing, waving their arms, singing (if you can call it that), talking about their plans for their next gathering, flipping their long curly hair to fluff it up some more. Whatever one of them said, everyone laughed loudly. They blocked our view of the stage. They talked over the music. They were asked by others to hush and sit, but with maybe 15 minutes left of the concert Dear One got into it with them, said they needed to shut up and sit down, and their argument got pretty heated and loud. Well, they whispered and sat until the encore/final song. By golly! Dear One was the winner! I emphasize, it was heated and loud.
He was bad ass.

The final song was the old founder of the band singing a Capella version of "(I Did it) My Way", a true testament of his work overcoming the world-wide prejudice against the Romas. Bless his heart.
I will never return to Smart Financial Centre.
